System Requirements
Move 2013
Operating Systems
Please check to ensure you have at least the minimum specification before installing:
Windows:
- Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 (32-bit or 64-bit).
- Windows XP (32-bit only and requires Service pack 3).
- Windows requires .NET Framework 4.0 or higher.
Recommend Windows 7 64-bit, SP1 or Vista 64-bit, SP2.
Recommend Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate editions.
Linux:
- Linux Red Hat Enterprise 5 and 6 (64-bit only).
Move may run on other distributions of Linux however, these have not been tested. For optimal video performance with OpenGL when using an NVIDIA video card under Linux, it is recommended that you use the accelerated drivers provided by NVIDIA on their website www.nvidia.com.
Mac:
- OSX 10.7 and up (64-bit only). Using Move in a virtual machine (with Mac OSX as guest) is not supported.
Graphics Card
Move is a graphics intensive application and takes advantage of modern hardware GPUs in order to speed up 3D rendering. In some algorithmic operations Move also offloads parallel operations to the GPU to deliver faster computational results. The more memory on the graphics card the better Move will handle larger DEM and Image/Seismic data.
Graphics Card requirements (Notebook or Workstation):
- 1GB of RAM
- Graphics card drivers fully up to date
- Run pixel shader 2 or later
- Be OpenGL compatible
Workstation Graphics Card Recommended:
- NVIDIA with 2GB RAM
Workstation Graphics Card Preferred:
- NVIDIA Quadro 6000, K5000, 5000, 4000, 2000
Notebook Graphics Card Recommended:
- NVIDIA with 1GB RAM
Notebook Graphics Card Preferred:
- NVIDIA Quadro M series, NVIDIA Geforce GTX/GT M series
As mentioned Move will take advantage of standard GPU processing on the graphics card for 3D rendering. The Move Sediment Modelling module will optionally run a CUDA GPU version for maximum speed depending on the hardware available. See the Sediment Modelling section in the Release Notes for further information.
Hardware
The following list of is provided as a general guide only. If your system configuration is different and you are unsure of its capability then please email us: support@mve.com with your system details for further information. The hardware requirements greatly depend on the size of data sets you are using. If you are working with large data sets and utilising Move applications simultaneously then we would strongly suggest the following recommendations with a 64-bit OS. This will allow the applications to take advantage of more than 4GB of memory if it is available.
Workstation/Desktop
For example, Dell Precision T7600/T5600/T3600;
Apple iMac, Apple Mac Pro.

Screen/Monitor
Minimum screen resolution is a single monitor/screen with 1280x1024 pixels.
Move is a graphics intensive application supporting multiple simultaneous views of your data model, and we recommend as much screen space as you can afford in order to maximise your experience and attention to detail.
Move will support dual monitors which are recommended at 24” in size and above.
Move supports the Macbook Pro Retina display which is recommended.
